India vs Pakistan LIVE: Women's T20 World Cup, Edgbaston

Ind 30-2

Ah, not where that ball was meant to go.

Smriti Mandhana turns new bowler Rameen Shamim round the corner, short fine gives chase and dives to flip the ball away from the ropes.

There's too much on the flick though and it loops near 360 degrees and lands on the boundary.

Mandhana adds four more off the next ball, smacking a drag-down through a similar area.

Ind 20-2

Time for the captain.

Harmanpreet Kaur starts immediately with a single sent square, and Smriti Mandhana adds one more single in the over.

Pakistan have conceded just 20 runs with the powerplay two thirds done - they'll be delighted with that.

There was a bit of a send-off there because it is such a huge wicket. I don't think Jemimah needed to play that shot, they just needed to get a partnership going.

We know it's a good batting pitch.

WICKET

Rodrigues c Pervaiz b Rubab 1 (Ind 18-2)

Skewed high in the air!

Jemimah Rodrigues tries to lump Tasmia Rubab into the leg side but sends the ball up above the covers instead.

A few fielders converge and it's Natalia Pervaiz who calls for it - the ball comes out of her hands after her initial attempt, but she sprawls to the floor to make a one-handed grab.

Another key batter falls and Pakistan know how important that wicket is - Pervaiz pumps the air in delight.

Ind 10-1

Captain Fatima Sana is taking the second over for Pakistan.

The right-arm seamer bowls to Smriti Mandhana, who spend the first over at the non-striker's end.

The India opener gets off the mark from her first ball, sending a single to long leg.

Jeminah Rodrigues then hustles through a run to mid-on and has to dive for the crease, with the throw flying past the stumps and whacking her boot.
